EvenSteven Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm planning my first trip to CM for this autumn. I'm traveling alone and will be staying for 1 month. I'd like to hear some recommendations about where to stay in the city. I like it quiet and safe, and would prefer to avoid staying in the area that houses the mob of international tourists yet would like to enjoy what the city is famous for. I'm budgeting my accommodation for around 8-12K baht for the month. I seldom take a taxi and walk anywhere I want to go in a city, as long as it's within 20 minutes on foot. Btw, are there any apartments that do not require a deposit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSiemReaper Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 We will let you know when the city remodels itself to meet your walking requirements. We'll also let you know when landlords in Chiang Mai suddenly lose their sanity and decide to let apartments without requiring a deposit - though you might try AirBnB for that.

stament Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Get a monthly room in the city. check out smith residence that should be well within your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whimsy Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) I agree that Smith Residence is a solid option. However there are many smaller hotels and guest-houses that will do a monthly rate for a steep discount on the daily rate that will fall within your budget or less. Once you've done your own research, along with more options from this thread, you should be set. I then suggest emailing or calling a few to get it set up, at which point you may bargain some more. It might be best to stay in a hotel or guest house a few nights first and then check out your short list in person after you get here.

MissAndry Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) The Royal Panerai Hotel http://www.royalpeninsulahotelchiangmai.com/panerai_main.html Its on the corner of the moat nearest the fruit market, and often has rooms priced at 300-400bht a night. (they heavily discount to keep the rooms as full as possible) Edited June 22, 2016 by MissAndry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Try Elegant Lanna - They have a web site. It's a quiet place as most of the backpackers are staying nearby but out of earshot. Lots of interesting little restaurants in the nearby sois. The more 'farang' places on the main road seemed a bit expensive to me. E. Lanna is also cheaper booking on the internet and certainly by the month. There are also lots of small places to stay behind Huay Kaew Rd, in the vicinity of and including YMCA. Remember to pack and use your mozzie repellant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
